The recipients will be celebrated at the NBMA Hall of Fame Banquet on Saturday, April 8. The banquet is held in conjunction with the NBMA’s 13th Annual Gathering during the GO!St. Louis Marathon. Previous honorees have included elite and Olympian runners, such as Ted Corbitt, Marilyn Bevans, Robin Campbell, Jon Rankin, Alphonzo Jackson, and Meb Keflezighi.

“We are pleased to honor the careers and achievements of this year’s Hall of Fame inductees at our Annual Summit. It’s held in my hometown of St. Louis this April,” said Tony Reed, Executive Director of the NBMA. “This will be a memorable weekend as we honor two of St. Louis’ best distance runners, the Gregory brothers from Sumner High School. Also, the 1904 Olympic Games were held in St. Louis. And this was the first time Blacks ran in their marathon. Thus, the location is very special.”
